Dear fory:

You may get a better result from West Systems G-Flex. It is very tenacious and they have a line of binders that go along with the product.

Step 2: Get rid of the pressure cap. Your stop gap measure will not work under pressure. You can fill the radiator to cover the fins and it will run fine. Just take your radiator cap and get rid of the little jiggle valve on the end of the cap.

Step 3: Once the flow has been stopped run the car on straight water and Bars Leak for the summer. It may boil somewhat in very hot weather, but just keep adding water.

Step 4: Hopefully there are no cracks in the valve seats. If all else fails then drill, tap, and fit cold rolled steel plate over the thing (may require pulling the motor to lay it on its side). Or you can take it to a talented welder (hard to find anymore).

Good luck with your car
